Samsung won the home game against the Hanwha Eagles with 100 at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 6th. Samsung had its eighth win (five losses) of the season. Hanwha has lost nine games (four wins) in this season.
Samsung, which tied Hanwha's batters tightly on the first day of the three consecutive games, suffered a come-from-behind loss on the second day with three home runs in the eighth and ninth innings.
Hanwha's batting lineup seemed to be rising, but Samsung Reyes cut off the flow perfectly. Reyes didn't allow a hit until the seventh inning.
The batters were also active. Lee Jae-hyun (striker), Kim Sung-yoon (middle fielder), Koo Ja-wook (left wing), Kang Min-ho (catcher), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), Lewin Diaz (first baseman), Park Byung-ho (designated hitter), Kim Heon-gon (right wing), and Ryu Ji-hyuk (second baseman) started. He scored 10 points by hitting 13 long and short hits, including a home run.
Hanwha formed the starting lineup in the order of An Chi-hong (second baseman), Esteban Floral (left fielder), Kim Tae-yeon (first baseman), Moon Hyun-bin (middle fielder), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Lee Jin-young (right fielder), Chae Eun-sung (designated hitter), Lee Jae-won (captor), and Shim Woo-jun (striker).

Samsung's extra point came out in the bottom of the third inning. Leading hitter Kim Sung-yoon drew a walk, and after one out, Kang Min-ho got on base with a walk. Kim Young-woong struck out, but Diaz's two-run timely hit gave him a 3-0 run.
Samsung's score continued in the bottom of the sixth inning. Diaz, the leadoff hitter, hit a single. Park Byung-ho struck out, but Kim Heon-gon's defense error made it to second and third bases with one out. Samsung went 5-0 with Ryu Ji-hyuk's two-run timely hit.
Samsung scored in the bottom of the eighth inning as well. Ryu Ji-hyuk and Lee Jae-hyun's walks and Kim Sung-yoon's timely hit made it 6-0. Samsung's attacks have not cooled down since then. Following Kang Min-ho's timely double, Kim Young-woong's sacrifice fly and Diaz's two-run home run made it a 10-run difference.

Reyes, who had 90 pitches until the seventh inning, had only six out-counts left in the KBO League's first perfect.
However, he was broken by the first batter in the eighth inning. Moon Hyun-bin, who had a strong sense of hitting by hitting multiple home runs the previous day, blew his dream of a record. He hit the cutter on the second pitch in one strike and became a hit in front of right field. In the end, Reyes was replaced by Lee Ho-sung.
Lee Ho-sung handled Noh Si-hwan with a double play and struck out Im Jong-chan to end the inning.
In the top of the ninth inning, Baek Jung-hyun came to the mound and cleaned up the remaining 1 inning.
While Um Sang-baek struggled with three runs in three innings, Cho Dong-wook (one run in two innings), Han Seung-hyuk (one run in ⅔ innings), Kim Bum-soo (⅓ innings scoreless), Kim Jong-soo (one inning scoreless), and Kwon Min-gyu (five runs in one inning) took the mound.
